Artists were nurtured back in the '70s. Their music was developed by the record companies.

The Internet is both great and terrible. As a source of information, a tool for delivering music and art, it's great. But spamming ads and piracy of music is terrible. It's stealing.

We lived on a farm in the English countryside, where we wrote a lot of our music. You really were treated like an artist during those days-not like product, which is now the mode.

In 1972, George Harrison invited me to accompany him on a trip to India.

As far as a defining moment, that was a hugely successful and very busy time for me. 1975, 1976, 1977 - that whole time frame.

My career has kind of taken on a life of its own.

Music's staying power is a function of how timeless the lyrics, song and production are.
